Calculus 131, section 13.1 Continuous Random Variables
... And so we come to a definition—a probability density function f(x) has two necessary characteristics: 1. f(x) ≥ 0 for all values of x in its domain, the interval [a, b] [since all probabilities, and therefore areas under the curve, are zero or positive] ...

Beautiful Homework No. 4
... We want to find p(-1), p(1), and p(0) for which P( | X - µ | ≥ 5σ ) = .04 holds. This is like part (c) except instead being given the p(x) values and finding the probability, we are given the probability and must find the individual p(x) values. Using part (c) as a model we can intuitively find the ...
